AT&T BlackBerry Q10 available for preorder starting June 5th

That's right AT&T fans - the BlackBerry Q10 will be available for preorder starting tomorrow, June 5th. With T-Mobile being the first to push out the Q10 and Verizon not too far behind, AT&T may take in the prize for third as Sprint is nowhere to be seen.

AT&T has released a statement noting that the Q10 will be available for preorder at att.com/q10 starting tomorrow. The Q10 will retail for $199 on contract - an official release date will hopefully be available soon.

From AT&T:

“AT&T was the first carrier to launch BlackBerry smartphones and services in the U.S. and was the first in the U.S. to launch the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. Building on our strong BlackBerry heritage, we are excited to announce that beginning June 5 customers can pre-order the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone for $199.99*,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president-Devices, AT&T. “The BlackBerry Q10 extends the new BlackBerry 10 experience to customers with the physical keyboard they love and the secure platform they expect, all on the nation’s fastest 4G LTE network.”

So good news for AT&T customers as it looks like the arrival date is right around the corner. Of course we'll fill you in on availability when we find out.

I was at a Tmobile kiosk yesterday. They had a Q10 demo model not hooked up to the Internet. But I got to play with it!!! He said he couldn't sell it to me then, but could on June 5. So yes, Tmobile has it for sure!!! But I'm waiting for AT&T so i can keep my unlimited plan!
I also went into AT&T yesterday. The guy said he had no idea when they would get it, but he had seen one. I asked if the Z was selling well, he said most people are waiting for the Q.

Same here. I heard preorders would arrive on the 6th and in stores on 10th and everything in between. The most consistent info is the 10th for both. And my preorder hasn't shipped, so it won't make the 6th (and I ordered at around midnight within 15 minutes of preorders going live).

Why Blackberry? You think they have people to watch in every ATT store, if they have spare people they should put them into testing new prototypes, not walking around the whole day in 2-3 ATT stores. If BB build good phones people will find out sooner or later. Do you think Apple has representatives there to promote their devices, NO of course and they never had. We should blame carriers, even though they're screwed by Apple, they still promote iPhones.

No, blame AT&T for that. All you would have had to do is note the stark difference between the way VZW marketed the Z10 in their retail stores vs how AT&T (didn't) market in their own, to understand that it is NOT simply Blackberry's fault.

Yeah, I work for AT&T and there is no BB love. I am using the Z10 now and will be the first to use a Q10, but if the corporate users were to actually use these devices, I feel there would be a lot more publicity for BlackBerry

If his contract is up on the 6th then the upgrade should have been available for a couple of months now. When I pre-ordered my Z10, my new contract started on the release date (March 28th) and not the date I placed the order.

Since AT&T is in Dallas, does this mean 12:01 am CST the pre-order frenzy can begin? If so, then at 10:01 pm PST I should be able to pre-order, right???

Why can't these companies ever give all of the information that consumers need. They just jerk us around and we follow like lemming. Regardless or the jerking, "I'am Lemming" and cant wait to finally retire the 9000 for the Q10, its been an upgrade in the making for a long, long time.

...meanwhile, on the other side of gotham city, t-mobile gets things ready to sell the q10 in stores beginning tomorrow, june 5.

if you buy yours outright, and your account is in good standing, t-mob will graciously unlock it and you're welcome to rock those at&t and t-mobile freqs...(unless i'm totally making this up and living in la-la land.)

Hm, pay $500+ for a phone and still use AT&T, or pay $200 and still use AT&T... I don't know, this is a real head stomper... I think I can wait another 2 weeks to save over $300. I'm not rich enough to throw away my money just to have something a little bit sooner...

Maybe Sprint is preoccupied with trying to buy clearwire and stopping Dish Network from buying Clearwire. Also they need to Hurry up and let Softbank buy up most of the company so the they can improve the dam signal with that said. If they dont get it together, and release the Q10 i will have to move to Big red or At&t....
